To  Our  Customers  and  Friends: 

Another  memerable  year  has  passed  since  issuing 
our  1921  Catalog,  and  it  is  with  the  greatest  of 
pleasure  and  gratefulness,  that  we  are  sending  you 
this,  our  Tenth  Annual  Catalog. 

We  admit  that  it  is  not  a very  ‘flashy’  looking 
affair,  but  believe  it  is  as  readable  and  interesting 
as  though  it  cost  five  times  as  much.  You  prob- 
ably realize  that  catalogs  made  of  high  class  paper 
and  profusely  illustrated,  cost  money  and  eventu- 
ally the  consumer  always  pays. 

We  have  always  believed  in  passing  any  saving 
in  this  way  on  to  our  customers.  This  is  the  main 
reason  why  we  have  been  accused  of  price  cutting 
by  some  of  the  other  Dahlia  growers.  However, 
we  would  much  sooner  be  accused  of  cutting  prices 
to  our  ctistomers,  than  of  being  profiteers. 

Hoping  that  we  may  continue  to  enjoy  your  con- 
fidence and  patronage  we  are, 

Yours  for  more  and  better  Flowers, 

WHITE  FLORAL  COMPANY.

In  Regard  to  all  the  Varieties  of  Dahlias  Marked  with  a Star. . . 

All  the  Dahlias  in  this  catalog  prefixed  with  a (*)  can  he  supplied  in  the 
form  of  growing  plants.  Ready  for  delivery  about  May  10th  to  June  10th, 
at  ONE-TTllRD  LESS  than  the  price  quoted  for  the  dormant  tubers. 

Dahlia  plants  will  give  equal  or  better  results  than  tubers,  if  given  a little  more  care  in 
their  early  growth.  In  our  own  Show  Garden  we  have  always  used  them  whenever  obtain- 
able. This  season  we  are  much  better  prepared  to  grow  them,  and  intend  using  them  almost 
exclusively  for  our  display  plants.  However,  we  do  not  recommend  “plants”  to  the  new 
beginner  but  will  venture  to  say  that  they  are  preferred  by  practically  all  experienced 
growers  and  especially  when  prize-winning  blooms  are  desired  for  the  Fall  Dahlia  Shows. 
You  will  never  know  all  about  Dahlias  before  giving  plants  a fair  trial. 

Our  experience  and  method  of  packing  plants  for  shipment  by  parcel  post,  enables 
us  to  guarentee  that  they  will  arrive  at  their  destination  in  perfect  condition.  They 
can  be  sent  with  safty  for  a distance  requiring  from  three  to  four  days  in  transit. 

Cultural  Directions  will  be  sent  with  each  and  every  order  for  dahlias.

VIOLET  BEAUTY 

A most  wonderful  exhibition  flower  of  a shade 
quite  difficult  to  describe  accurately.  Very 
pleasing  violet-purple,  suffused  with  claret 
and  cerise.  Each  petal  has  the  appearance 
of  being  outlined  with  silver.  The  flowers 
are  from  7 to  9 inches  in  diameter,  of  the 
full-petaled  peony-flowered  type,  with  broad 
wavy  petals;  the  center  is  almost  hidden  by 
small  petals  that  curl  and  twist,  making  a 
flower  of  very  artistic  formation.  Although 
the  stems  are  long  and  of  sufficient  strength 
to  hold  the  average  dahlia  rigidly  erect,  the 
blooms  of  this  new  creation  are  so  large  and 
heavy  that,  under  certain  conditions,  they 
are  unable  to  do  so,  after  flowers  are  fully 
developed.  However,  the  size,  color  and  fop 
mation  are  so  rare  that  it  is  always  irresis- 
table  to  everyone.  It  is  an  early  and  free 
bloomer;  dwarf  habit.  Strong  tubers,  $2.50 

PRIDE  OF  PORTLAND 

A magnificent  variety  that  is  worthy  of  a 
place  in  the  most  up  to  date  collection,  where 
something  really  gorgeous  is  desired.  Quite 
similar  to  the  ever  popular  “Geisha”  in  color, 
but  the  yellow  is  brighter  and  the  red  is  of  a 
richer  shade.  It  is  more  double  than  that  old 
favorite,  in  fact,  some  blooms  are  almost  of  the 
decorative  type.  Without  a doubt  one  of  the 
largest  dahlias  we  have  ever  grown,  with  stems 
in  proportion,  that  hold  the  giant  blooms  well 
above  the  foliage,  never  failing  to  attract  the 
attention  of  everyone.  It  is  a healthy,  robust 
grower,  producing  the  immense  blooms  early, 
freely  and  constantly  all  season.  Tubers,  $2.00. 


Violet  Beauty 


PHILENA 

New  peony-flowered  variety.  On  account  of 
its  color  and  long,  stout  stems  it  was  quite 
irresistable  to  all  garden  visitors.  The  large 
blooms  are  held  rigidly  erect  and  very  freely 
produced.  For  the  most  part  the  color  is  an 
elegant,  bright  crimson,  slightly  streaked  and 
heavily  tipped  with  golden  yellow,  while  the 
reverse  of  the  petals  is  a manderin  orange, 
slightly  penciled  with  red;  a very  odd  and 
showy  color  combination.  Quite  lasting  and 
effective  as  a cut  flower,  M.  g.  c.  $2.00

OF  PREVIOUS

AUTUMN  GLORY — An  immense  flower  of  the 
true  peony  flowered  type.  The  color  is  hard 
to  discribe;  distinct  shade  of  bronzy  cinna- 
mon, burnished  with  terra-cotta.  Some  of 
the  flowers  have  a broad  stripe  of  rich  amber 
color,  running  the  full  length  of  each  petal.

EPOCH  — {New  Type)  — The  forerunner  of  an 
entirely  new  form  in  the  dahlia  family,  which 
will  undoubtedly  prove  of  great  value  as  cut 
flowers.  Similar  to  the  collarette,  but  is  larger 
and  has  from  3 to  6 rows  of  petals  and  be- 
tween each  row  a collar.  Petals  are  bright 
carmine  rose  with  white  collars.  Grand, 
free  flowering  habit  of  growth,  D.  SOLD

numerous,  but  no  one  could  resist  this,  when 
seen  growing  in  our  Gardens.  Strong,  erect 
growth;  stems  are  long  and  very  stiff.  The 
large  blooms  are  held  upright  and  the  color

deepening  in  the  center,  T.e.g.c.  $1.50 

LEAH  — (Collarette) — Even  visitors  who  were  not 
admirers  of  this  type  had  to  stop  and  admire  this 
gem.  An  extra  large  flower  held  erect  on  very  stout 
stems.  Deep  crimson  maroon,  while  the  collar  is 
white  and  maroon.  Some  flowers  are  heavily  pen- 
ciled lilac.  One  of  the  most  lasting  when  cut.D.  .50

distinct  form;  the  narrow  petals  are  slightly 
corrugated  and  reflexed.  Blooms  are  above 
the  average  size  and  the  long  stems  are  quite 
erect.  A favorite  with  visitors,  M.  $1.00 

OREGON  SUNSET — No  description  can  give 
you  an  idea  of  the  beauty  of  this  gorgeously 
colored,  full  petaled.  Peony  Dahlia.  Giant 
blooms  of  rich  golden  yellow,  heavily  suff- 
used and  dusted  bronzy  crimson.  Distinct 
and  irresistable  combination  of  colors.  Free

stout  stems.  One  of  the  greatest  attractions

good  size;  free  flowering  on  very  strong,  erect

Strong,  upright  habit  with  just  enough  fol- 
iage and  blooms  very  freely,  T.  g.  c.  .75 


Don’t  plant  too  early.  Dahlias  dislike  to  bloom  during  the  hot,  dry,  midsummer  weather.

PEONY  DAHLIAS

these  large,  artistically  formed  flowers  are  rapid- 
and  surely  becoming  the  most  popular  of  all.

most  constant  bloomers,  and  therefore  most 
extra  fine  for  a garden  disylay.

GLADIOLI 


THE  CUT  FLOWER 
PRE-EMINENT 


The  most  beautiful  and  attactive  of  all  summer  flowering  bulbs  are  the  newer  Gladioli. 
Such  a rapid  improvement  has  been  made  during  the  past  few  years,  in  the  size,  color  and  beauty 
of  these  flowers,  that  the  result  is  wonderful.  If  cut  when  the  first  buds  open  and  allowed  to 

develop  indoors,  every  bud  will  open  and  the 
size  and  color  will  be  more  perfect  than  if  left 
in  the  sun.  The  spikes  will  continue  to  open 
additional  buds  for  a week  or  two  weeks,  ac- 
cording to  the  variety  and  conditions. 

CULTURE — You  can  plant  a Gladiolus 
bulb  in  most  any  kind  of  soil  and  it  will  bloom, 
but  attention  to  a few  simple  details  will  pro^ 
duce  superior  results.  Sound  healthy  bulbs 
and  a sunny  situaton  is  the  most  important. 
Successive  plantings  in  the  same  place  should 
be  avoided  when  possible.  Plant  3 to  5 inches 
apart  and  to  a depth  of  4 to  6 inches,  depend- 
ing on  size  of  bulb  and  character  of  soil.  May 
be  planted  as  early  as  the  end  of  March  or  as 
late  as  the  middle  of  June.  By  planting  at 
intervails  during  this  time  you  will  have  flowers 
all  season.  Cultivate  often  until  flower  spikes 
appear,  then  if  possible,  cover  the  ground  with 
a mulch  and  water  thoroughly  when  in  bloom. 
Dig  in  November  'or  sooner  if  foliage  begins  to 
ripen)  on  a sunny  day  if  possible,  so  as  to  allow 
them  to  dry  ofl  well  before  storing  in  a cool, 
dry,  frost-proof  place.  Cut  off  the  tops  close 
up  to  the  bulb,  as  soon  as  dug.

in  1918,  and  has  been  greatly  admired  by 
every  geranium  lover.  We  have,  to  the

refused  to  sell  it  to  anyone,  wishing  to 
grow  a stock  large  enough  to  be  able  to 
offer  it  at  a reasonable  price,  to  everybody 
at  once.  The  color  is  the  outstanding 
feature  of  this  novelty  and  quite  difficult 
to  describe.  It  is  a very  bright  and  distinct 
rose  Vermillion  shade  of  red,  with  a very 
conspicuous  pure  white  center.  Extra 
large  flowers  of  circular  form;  large 
clusters,  borne  well  above  the  foliage  on

1 block  North  of  Peninsula  Park 

We  wish  to  extend  to  all  a hearty  invi- 
tation to  visit  our  Dahlia  and  Floral 
Gardens.  Over  700  named  varieties  of 
Dahlias,  including  the  best  European  and 
American  Novelties,  as  w'ell  as  many  new 
Creations  of  our  own  origin  not  yet 
offered  to  the  public,  will  be  growing 
under  most  up-to-date  methods,  and  will 
be  at  their  best  after  the  middle  of  Au- 
gust, and  until  a heavy  frost.  Large  col- 
lection of  the  newer  Gladioli,  and  various 
other  flowers,  will  bloom  in  their  respect- 
ive seasons. 

All  flower  lovers  and  especially  Dahlia 
enthusiasts  should  try  and  see  the  Dahlias 
during  September  or  early  October,  as  we 
honestly  believe  it  will  be  time  well  spent. 
And,  you  can  also  visit  the  Peninsular 
Park,  Sunken  Rose  Gardens,  and  the  new 
Auto  Tourists’  Park  at  the  same  time,  as 
we  are  located  just  north  of  these  ever 
increasingly  popular  places  of  amusement. 

Take  the  Kenton  car  on  Broadway. 
Get  off  at  Portland  Boulevard  or  at 
Dekum  Ave.,  as  we  are  located  just 
between  these  two  streets.  Right  on 
the  car  line  — you  can’t  miss  it. 


Are  Our  Trials  Extensive? 

After  giving  them  thorough  trial  we  have  dis. 
carded  over  1400  varieties  of  Dahlias  during 
the  past  few  years.  Draw  your  own  conclusions
